Hey guys! Man, this is really an amazing site for a truly underrated, an amazing band. I am a bit of a noob when (hey I guess I really am! *title*) when it comes to Japan, as I have only been into them for a little over a year. I stumbled across them on someones Myspace, and discovered the song "Adolescent Sex"...I was hooked! I now own all the re-masters. What a trip Japan are....I generally am into more guitar driven music so the new wave stuff was definetely difficult to get into at first, but I like to say that Japan's music, especially the new wave stuff paints a picture. I sometimes put on my big stereo headphones, and turn up Oil On Canvas and just take it all in. Anyways, I have alot of questions to ask and I hope to have some great discussions! Again, very glad that I found this site. I also post on Metal-Sludge, and Metal-Blast, but few people know of Japan there.
